The year is 551 AD when Emperor Justinian, at the express wish of his dying wife, Empress Theodora, organizes an expedition to China to discover the best kept secret of the East. For this delicate mission, the emperor chooses the most capable and suitable men of his empire: the objective will be to travel from Constantinople to southern China to seize the secret of silk at any price. Three women, from different origins, cultures and religions, will mark the destiny of the expeditionaries. Theodora, a former prostitute turned Empress of Byzantium; Najaah, daughter of the desert, a nomad of the Zaqîf tribe, and Yù, a young princess of the Liang dynasty with an ideology of life based on millenary traditions. Three women who face established norms, willing to go to the ultimate consequences to pursue their dreams. A story of contrasts, full of adventures, that speaks of love, risk and the capacity for overcoming.
